ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT
PASSENGER AND LIGHT
TRUCK TIRES
Including RFT Tires with Run-Flat
Technology
ELIGIBILITY
This Limited Warranty covers
BRIDGESTONE and FIRESTONE brand
passenger and light truck tires, including
RFT and temporary spare tires, originally
installed by the vehicle manufacturer on
a new vehicle. You are covered under the
terms of this Limited Warranty if the
tire was produced after July 4, 2004
(DOT serial 2704 or later) and has been
used only on the vehicle on which it was
originally installed in non-commercial
service.
WHAT IS WARRANTED AND
FOR HOW LONG
Before wearing down to 2/32” (1.6 mm)
remaining original tread depth (i.e. worn
down to the top of the built-in indicators
in the tread grooves) and within 6 years
from the date of purchase (proof of
purchase date required; without proof of
purchase date, then within 6 years from
the date of tire manufacture), for any
reason other than those excluded in the
section entitled “What This Limited
Warranty Does Not Cover,” any eligible
tire that becomes unusable for any
reason within the manufacturer’s control
will be replaced with an equivalent new
tire on the basis set forth in this Limited
Warranty.
WHAT THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER
This Limited Warranty does not cover the
following:
1. Tire damage or irregular wear due to:
A. Road hazards, including, without
limitation: Puncture, cut, impact
break, stone drill, bruise, bulge,
snag, etc.
B. Improper use or operation,
including, without limitation:
Improper inflation pressure,
overloading, tire/wheel spinning,
use of an improper wheel, tire
chain damage, misuse,
misapplication, negligence, tire
alteration, or for racing or
competition purposes.
C.
Insufficient or improper
maintenance,including, without
limitation: Failure to rotate tires as
recommended in this manual,
wheel misalignment, worn
suspension components, improper
tire mounting or demounting,
tire/wheel assembly imbalance, or
other vehicle conditions, defects,
or characteristics.
D. Contamination or degradation
by petroleum products or other
chemicals, fire or other externally
generated heat, or water or other
material trapped inside the tire
during mounting or inflation.
E. Improper repair voids this
Limited Warranty.
F. For RFT tires only, improper
run-flat or low tire pressure
operation, including, without
limitation: Exceeding speed,
distance, or other run-flat/low-
pressure operation limitations.

After The Free Replacement
Period
The tire (except temporary spare tire)
may still be eligible for a pro rata
replacement for 72 months from date of
original purchase until the tread is worn
down to the tread wear indicators
(2/32nds of an inch or 1.6 mm of tread
remaining.) If an eligible tire becomes
unserviceable under the stipulations of
this Limited Warranty and Adjustment
policy it will be replaced charging the
owner a pro-rated amount. Owner pays
all applicable taxes (including F.E.T.),
mounting and balancing charges.
The replacement tire price will be
determined by multiplying the
percentage of the useable tread worn by
the Dealers Selling Price (excluding all
applicable taxes) at the time of the
adjustment. The useable tread is the
original tread down to the tread wear
indicators (2/32nds of an inch or 1.6 mm
of tread remaining.)
WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY
The Following Are Not
Covered
Road Hazard:Any tire with road hazard
damage, which includes, but is not
limited to: cuts, snags, punctures, bruises,
and impact breaks.
Ride/Vibration: Any ride/vibration
complaint after the first 2/32” (1.6 mm)
of treadwear or 12 months of service,
whichever comes first. Repairs:
If a tire is returned under
complaint and the reason for the tire’s
disablement is in any way associated with
a repair, or with the situation that led to
the repair, the manufacturer’s warranty is
invalidated.
Mileage: Tread wearout up to a
predetermined mileage is not covered
under this policy.
Improper operation or maintenance:
This includes, but is not limited to, effects
caused by:
1. Improper tire inflation and/or
improper load/speed practices:
These practices can cause excessive
operational temperatures and
stresses that exceed the tire’s
capabilities.
2. Improper or insufficient tire
rotation.
3. Improper vehicle alignment.
4. Damage due to:
– Rim irregularities or rim damage.
– Snow chains.
– Vehicle mechanical problems,
including brake problems, and
vehicle wheel alignment.
– Extreme temperature exposure.
– Negligent and abusive driving such as tire spinning, or racing
– Improper tire storage.
– Automotive accident.
– Chemical corrosion or fire.
– Use contrary to the vehicles manufacturer’s tire
recommendations.
– Misuse or misapplication.

SAFETY MAINTENANCE
INFORMATION
Improper tire mounting and inflation
and overloading may cause serious
injury or property damage. Maxxis
recommends that you read and follow
all safety information contained in
the tire safety inf ormation section of
this booklet, vehicle placard in the
Vehicle and/or the Vehicle Owner’s
Manual. Information regarding safety
and maintenance also can be found
on the sidewall of the Tire.
Please also comply with the following:
• Check air pressure every month when tires are “cold.” Use an accurate tire air
pressure gauge. Do not reduce
pressure when tires are hot. Proper
inflation is essential. Under inflation
produces flexing of the sidewalls and
builds up heat to the point that
premature tire failure may occur. Over
inflation can cause the tire to be more
susceptible to impact damage.
• Never overload your tires. The maximum load capacity and
maximum inflation pressure are
molded into the sidewall of your tire.
Overloading builds up excessive heat
and can lead to early tire failure.
• Avoid damaging objects (such as chuckholes, glass, rocks and curbs)
which may cause internal tire
damage. Continued use of a tire that
has suffered internal damage, which
may not be visible externally, can lead
to dangerous tire failure.
Determination of internal damage will
require dismounting of the tire and
examination by trained tire personnel. • Improper tire mounting and inflation
procedures may cause the tire beads
to break with explosive force during
installation of the tire on the rim. Tire
and rim must match in size. Rim parts
must match by manufacturer’s design.
Clean rim. Lubricate rim and beads.
Do not exceed the maximum
recommended pressure to seat the
beads. Only trained tire personnel
should mount tires.
• Use of worn-out tires (less than 2/32” [1.6 mm] of tread depth) increases the
probability of tire failure.
• Excessive speeds create heat buildup in a tire, leading to possible tire failure.
• Maxxis strongly recommends tire rotation every 5,000 to 7,500 miles
(8,000 to 12,000 kilometers).
• The Maxxis brand temporary spare tire weighs less than a conventional radial
tire. The temporary tire should be used
only in emergencies and returned to
the trunk as soon as it is convenient to
have your standard tire repaired or
replaced.
CONTACT INFORMATION
Any time you see damage to your Tires or
wheels, immediately contact a Vehicle
Manufacturer Dealer or Maxxis Dealer.

FALKEN LIMITED WARRANTY
This limited warranty applies to Falken
brand Original Equipment Passenger Car,
Temporary Spare, and Light Truck steel
belted radial tires bearing the complete
description and serial number required by
the Department of Transportation (DOT).
This warranty is effective only to tires for
which claims are made within 6 (six)
years of the date of production, based on
the tire DOT serial number.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR
HOW LONG
Falken tires that are originally equipped
on this vehicle are warranted against any
defects in the materials and
workmanship for the usable life of the
original tread. The limited warranty
terminates at the flush appearance of
the tread wear indicators at 1.6mm
(2/32 of an inch) remaining tread depth.
Free Replacement
If a tire becomes unserviceable due to
such defect within the first 1.6mm
(2/32 of an inch) of tread wear, the tire
will be replaced free of charge with the
same or comparable Falken tire
(mounting and balancing labor covered).
Prorated Replacement
After the first 1.6mm (2/32 of an inch) of
wear, a prorated adjustment credit will
be given based on the percentage of
remaining usable tread depth, down to
the remaining 1.6mm (2/32 of an inch)
tread wear bar indicator (mounting and
balancing labor covered). No credit is
given if the tire is worn beyond the flush
appearance of the tread wear bar
indicator (less than 1.6mm (2/32 of an
inch) tread depth remaining).Out-of-Round / Out-of-Balance
Replacement
Tires that are deemed to be out-of-round
or out-of-balance will be accepted for
adjustment during the first 0.8mm
(1/32 of an inch) of the original tread
depth and will be replaced free of charge
with the same or similar Falken tires
(mounting and balancing labor covered).
A set of four (4) tires from the same
vehicle will not be accepted for
out-of-round or out-of-balance claims.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY
THE WARRANTY
• Tires that become unserviceable due
to road hazard damages (cuts, snags,
punctures, bruises, impact breaks, etc.)
improper repair technique or materials,
improper inflation, overload, irregular
wear, wheel imbalance, defective
mechanical vehicle components
(brakes, suspension, wheels, etc.)
improper suspension alignment,
accident, fire, chemical damage,
damage from chain use, racing,
off-road use, run flat, improper
installation, vandalism, or abuse.
• Tires branded “NA” or a tire in which the DOT numbering has been removed.
• Tires that were transferred to another vehicle from the vehicle in which the
tires were originally installed.
• Tires having a failure or failures caused by a previous damages or repairs.
• The cost of tire repair or retreading is not covered by this warranty and will
be the sole responsibility of the tire
owner.

For Example Only
Gauge reading of
hot tire33 psi (230 kPa)
If recommended,
cold inflation
pressure is 32 psi (220 kPa)
The hot tire pressure is only 1 psi
(10 kPa) greater than the
recommended cold inflation pressure.
Therefore, add 3 psi (20 kPa) more to
increase the hot pressure to 4 psi
(30 kPa) over the recommended cold
inflation pressure.
New hot pressure 36 psi (250 kPa)
TIRE SPINNING
Do not spin wheels in excess of 35 mph
(55 km/h) as indicated on the
speedometer. Excessive speed in a
free-running, unloaded tire can cause it
to “explode” from centrifugal force. The
energy released by such an explosion is
sufficient to cause serious physical injury
or death. Never allow anyone to stand
near or behind the spinning tire.
When in mud, sand, snow, ice or other
slippery conditions, do not engage in
excessive wheel spin. Accelerating the
motor excessively, particularly with
automatic transmission vehicles, may
cause a drive tire that has lost traction to
spin beyond its speed capability. This is
also true when balancing a drive
tire/wheel assembly on the vehicle using
the vehicle engine to spin the tire/wheel
assembly.
HIGH SPEED DRIVING CAN BE
DANGEROUS
Correct inflation pressure is especially
important. However, at high speeds, even
with the correct inflation pressure, a road
hazard for example is more difficult to
avoid and if contact is made, has a greater
chance of causing tire damage than at a
lower speed. Moreover, driving at high
speed reduces the reaction time available
to avoid accidents and bring your vehicle
to a safe stop.
If you see any damage to a tire or wheel,
replace it with the spare at once and visit
a participating Tire Retailer.
Exceeding the maximum speeds shown
on the following page for each type of tire
will cause the tire to build up excessive
heat which can cause tire damage that
could result in sudden tire destruction and
rapid air loss. Failure to control a vehicle
when one or more tires experience a
sudden air loss can lead to an accident.
In any case, you should not exceed
reasonable speeds as indicated by the
legal limits and driving conditions.
SPEED RATINGS
Speed symbols are shown on the sidewall
of some tires. The following table shows
the maximum speed corresponding to the
symbol.
